I suggest to send mail to Stefan Esser <se@freebsd.org> Maybe he is also
on this list, I don't know. But in any case he is the one who does the
ncr driver for FreeBSD and also has docs AFAIK. On my FreeBSD box I have
2 NCR810 cards and they run like a charm, even with exotic stuff like a
DLT drive and a (notorious) Exabyte 8200
